Making these lists is so much fun. Would I spend $650 on rubber flip-flops from Phoebe Philo? Absolutely not. Do I love them? Yes. They really nailed the shade of green. What I am coveting most this week is actually on the home front. Porta released all these amazing mirror-polished metal pieces with cabochon stones. There’s the round tray, the rectangular tray, and this stunning vase. Oh and this little triple bowl set.
Every Wednesday, I’ll bring you a list of ten things that I think you should know about. I’m excited for this. I often stumble across something interesting and will share it to Instagram, but it has no real place to live. Maybe it’s a new launch, a really great podcast episode . . . maybe it’s an independent designer, an artist, or a must-have shopping find. It will be a different mix every week. You can read last week’s installment here.
We are back with our biweekly edit of under-$200 favorites. There are so many great pieces in this week’s installment; I hope you enjoy! I am a broken record about this, but if you are new here, I have a “great style under $200” section on my ShopMy page that I update multiple times a week, if not every day! Both Carly and I spend quite a bit of time tracking down pieces at this price point that feel well-made, special, and fun.
Every week on Instagram, I share the previous week’s best-selling products. You can always see those collections, saved here on my ShopMy Page. It’s fun to see what pieces resonate most with you. To build on our weekly best-sellers series, we wanted to introduce a styling element. Each Monday, I will choose three of the previous week’s favorite styles and show you how to wear them. Today, we are styling this chic smocked dress, this simple dropped waist dress from La Ligne, and this super fun “going out top” from Veronica Beard.
